Correatown is an alias for Angela Correa.
Since she was a kid Correatown has been singing, songwriting, and playing music in one form or another. She has been writing and playing her own americana tinged singer-songwriter tunes for years now, first in Northern California (where she is from) then San Diego (where she was schooled) and now Echo Park (where she resides).
She rearranges and sings traditional folks songs and American songbook standards from the Golden Age of music with Tom Brosseau in the folk-duo Les Shelleys. Lately, she has been recording new more rocked out versions of her songs with Raymond Richards at his wonderfully cozy and vintage equipped Rancho Park Red Rockets Glare Studio with the generous contributions from some of the boys from The Broken West (who are not only great guys, but in a great-fucking-tastic band). Those recordings will be released in 2007.
Most recently, she is collaborating with one of her favorite musicians Joanie Mendenhall creating new original songs influenced by jazz standards and classic musicals among other things in a band called The Low Standards (a band which also includes various multi-instrumental members of The Exfriends. Oh my! Seems like quite a lot - and yet there could really be so much more music going on in her life if she had her way. Really had her way. All at once, in many different ways, all the time. Ask her about it.
Correatown was a place that someone called her once. It was a funny name and a sad name all at once but it made sense at the time. You could ask for directions, you could stumble upon it, you could look and never find it. It doesn’t really matter. You might find a house with a porch, a wall painted green, and an old sun bleached wooden swing chair. You might sit there awhile and then you might hear the stories and decide to sing along.
